I changed out the rock on Monday/Tuesday (as I had finally picked up some Sunday night) and dosed the tank until we left Thursday am (no dosing Thursday). Perhaps that wasn't enough dosing? I guess I shouldn't have made any changes with the tank knowing that I would be away. Honestly I didn't think 4 days would be that big of a deal, in hindsight I suppose it was.

I also have the flow throttled back. I've read varying information on just what the flow should be and it beats the hell out of me. Flow going through the reactor is set at about 100gph. It never said anywhere to lessen the flow after changing out the rocks.

not really, seems like its just one guy that has been running the FM system for awhile answering the questions. He used to help out on RC as well but now that there doesn't seem to be a forum for it there (or maybe they're trying to move everyone over to ultralith.com) he doesn't think it has much to do with the FM system and that there is something else going on in my tank. Granted there very well could be something else going on in my tank, just seems fishy that it coincided with changing out the rocks. Guess I'll have my answer in another 8 weeks
